Bratislava, Warsaw and Budapest ranked among most underrated cities in Europe

Bratislava, Slovakia – According to the Cultural Places website, Bratislava, Warsaw and Budapest count among the top 10 most underrated cities in Europe.

Although “everyone is always saying how they’re dying to visit Paris or London or any other world-famous European city”, Europe has other “cities with a unique charm and interesting places worth visiting”, write the authors of the ranking.

First stop: Bratislava, the city that is most often forgotten or skipped by tourists travelling through Central Europe, “even though it is located only about an hour away from Vienna”. According to Cultural Places, “it is a beautiful city brimming with old town charm, cobbled streets and fairy-tale buildings”. It also has many interesting places to go out, relax with friends or have a drink in the evening – for that, feel free to check out our home-made list of the best cafes and bars to visit when you’re in Bratislava.

Although we agree that both Bratislava and Warsaw are underrated, not sure whether Budapest should be added to the list. The Hungarian capital is indeed a breathtaking and can’t-miss destination in Central Europe. But is it really underrated? Whether it be the long lines of buses full of Chinese tourists, multiple drunken stag-parties or innumerable backpackers, it seems slightly far-fetched to rank Budapest as one of the most underrated cities in Europe… in our humble opinion.
